Overview

Accuracy is the name of the game with Laguna Tool's Fusion Series 1-3/4HP Tablesaw with 36" Fence! The precision ground table top is made of premium grade cast iron, heat treated and ground to a mirror-like flat surface, perfect for the most precise cuts. Includes a 20" x 27" main table with 3/4" x 3/8" miter slots, and fitted with two 10" x 27" cast iron ground wings. You'll immediately notice how accurate, quiet, and smooth the 10" blade cuts thanks to the frame-mounted trunion, 1-3/4HP motor, and the 1" V-belt drive. The included 36" fence rides on the front and back of the saw, never touching the table, giving you an ultra-smooth transition from one measurement to another. Use the 4" dust port to attach to your dust collection system to keep your work environment clean.

Mid-range and mid-priced, this has been an outstanding addition to my garage shop. I love the construction quality, the size (with table extension) and the power. Fully enclosed cabinet keeps most of the dust out of the workings. I looked hard at larger more expensive units, but this one does a great job!

The quality of the build was obvious when I was at the store moving the blade lift and the fence along with the excellent ground table top. I've been looking to upgrade to a cabinet saw for years and the 110 Volt power supply and the Laguna name( I'm from Chicago but been to Laguna since the 70's and originally saw their location for years) made the decision easy. I can't wait to start building furniture on this saw.

After WEEKS of researching for a contractor or hybrid table saw to replace my jobsite table saw (I'm slowly but surely building my home shop as an avid DIY'er and amateur contractor) I finally decided on this saw. It has a 36" fence, beating the other 30" ones but not a huge 52" which wouldn't fit in my garage. Also it seems the quality is all there. Most reviews claim that the alignment is spot on right out of the box. THAT to me exemplifies quality and precision in its construction.

BEST ANSWER:Yes! The stick is held in place via tension by two clips screwed into the fence. Personally, I've removed the clips to make room for the jigs I've made and I secure the push stick elsewhere (e.g. epoxy a rare earth magnet to the stick which can then be held in place on the rail).

Yes the stick comes off easy. There is one or two small spring steel brackets that hold it on there. I am unsure how the bracket is secured to the fence. I will have to look, but I am sure it would be no problem to remove the bracket. Hope that helps.

BEST ANSWER:The saw is 65.8" long and 31.2" deep not counting the fence which sticks out past the rail a little bit and the handle on the front. The saw accepts dado blades just fine, I use a Freud dado set. I believe there is a dado insert available for $48 but I make my own from hardwood. There is not a thin kerf insert available but I use the standard insert with a thin kerf blade with no issues. Again you can also make your own which I find works great.Love the saw BTW.

The width is 66" and the depth is 31-1/2". The fence is actually 39-1/2" across the saw, including the handle.My saw came with a zero-clearance insert for the thin kerf blade that also came with the saw. Laguna Tools sells insert blanks that you can make into an insert for any blade or dado set.

BEST ANSWER:I don't have an Incra fence on my Laguna saw but yes, I don't see why you could not mount an Incra fence system to the saw. The Incra fence uses T-bolts to mount in the slots of the rails and they are adjustable to any position needed to line up with the mounting holes of the existing fence that came with your saw. Personally, I have had very good results with the fence that came with my Laguna saw.

BEST ANSWER:Richard,The saw has wheels on the left hand side. If you grab the end of the fence and rear fence guide and tilt up the saw rolls easily. I have always found it easy to move my saw this way. Rockler has a universal "all terrain" mobile base that would work. It's about 200 bucks. My reccomendatin is try it without first I don't think you will need it. This is a great saw I've gotten great results from it over the last year.John

There are all kinds of mobile based available out there that will fit this saw. I purchased a kit from Harbor Freight that had all of the hardware needed and all you need to supply is some pieces of a 2 x 2 wood. I believe I paid $39.00 for the kit and it was very easy to build.

You don't need a mobile base for the Laguna Fusion - it has wheels built in on the left end, so all you have to do is unlock them and lift up on the rails at the right end and it moves easily. Set it down and lock the wheels and you're good to go.

This saw has built in casters which allow the saw to be moved like a wheelbarrow. They are fine for smooth floors. I found it necessary to build an additional base as I have a threshold that I have to move the saw over at times.

BEST ANSWER:There is a hose for dust collection that runs from below the blade to near the bottom of the base where you can hook up a shop vac or a dust collector. If you don't run some sort of dust collector or shop vac the hose will plug up and saw dust will fill the base and the work area. Even running a dust collector you should clean out the base frequently as it will still collect some saw dust

Reviews

Purchased from Rockler and an employee drove the saw from one store to another for delivery-above and beyond. Came is a wood case with one long foam filled box for rails. Two of us unpacked and moved the saw itself without much trouble. Wings are cast iron and quite solid. Took about 2 hours to completely set up and tune up. Discard the supplied blade, barely workable for ripping. Added my own Freud 80 tooth finish blade and get great results. I compared many saws, including Saw Stop, but the Laguna stood out. Forget to turn off the saw stop feature with any moist wood and bang, there goes $130 for a new cartridge and blade. Add much more for a dado stack sized cartridge. I cut mixed hard wood and softer woods so its likely that I'd forget once or twice to turn off the safety device. Given that, the safety features on the Laguna are very good and with a GrRipper and compliance with basic safety rules, I don't think the extra money for the Saw Stop made sense. The quality of build on the Laguna is excellent. Heavy duty hand cranks that operate smoothly. Solid wings, not pressed sheet metal. Belt driven motor that gives an extra inch of cutting depth compared to a direct drive saw. 1.75 HP motor is a premium model and cut nicely through 1 3/4 thick hard maple. Dust collection from below the table is excellent with a shroud around the blade leading to a flex tube and 4 inch dust port. Dust also falls into the closed base, but a side panel lifts off easily for fast cleanout. The fence is also terrific. Very accurate and floats a mm or so above the table. Was right on out of the box, which is really unusual. Someone set this up right in the factory. I purchased the 36 inch model because my shop is small. If I had the space, I'd have gotten the 52 inch model, but it is 84 inches wide and just too big for my shop. You can also get this in a 220 model {my saw's motor is set for 115v, but also has a 220 mode}. The size and flatness of the table are both very good. This saw replaced a 1hp contractor model, and the table size really makes it nice for working any wood. I also own Rockler's table saw sled, but it was set up for my old saw and was short of the blade on the Laguna. I removed the miter bar from the bottom and slid the top against the fence, re drilled and countersunk holes for new miter bar bolts using a square to mark the holes positions before drilling and remounting the bar. If you use a home made sled, you will likely have to do the same thing. I also had to put a new top on the outfeed table {used Rockler's part kit to build it} and routed grooves for the miter bar. I purchased a separate zero clearance throat plate for a dado stack. The Laguna enables a very fast switch between a nice blade guard and riving knife. You loosen a star knob to switch from knife to guard and its done. I was able to use my Delta mortising jig with the Laguna by moving the miter bar over. I know there are other brands of hybrid saws to choose from, and several are a bit cheaper. But you get what you pay for, and after using this saw for about 6 weeks, I'd recommend it highly, with the caveat that it is not aimed at a professional cabinet maker. This is likely the last table saw I'll ever buy and I'm really happy I choose this one. It not only work even better than I'd hoped, it is also a very handsome tool that brings a smile every time I step into my shop. I think you'll have the same good experience. /p>

Excellent saw. I'm a woodturner first, but the Fusion is fast becoming my favorite machine in the shop.Delivery was great. The trailer with lift gate/pallet truck pulled the shipping crate right into my garage for storage until I had time to set it up in my basement shop. The lighter weight of the saw allowed me to move it to the basement BY MYSELF! I used an appliance truck with stair climbers and it wasn't easy, but it worked. I removed the table top first to reduce the weight. Setup was straight forward, but I took my time with a dial indicator getting all of the alignments dead on. Front and rear rails bolt on in a snap and the rip fence was easy to adjust. Riving knife came installed in perfect alignment. Changing to the standard splitter takes a matter of seconds and requires no tools. Prior to ordering the saw I contacted customer service with some questions. They informed me that a new model of the saw was available with several improvements over the previous model. First, the power switch is moved to the front rail. The hand wheels are now cast iron. The built in mobile base/rollers are changed from four wheels to two, and now moves like a wheel barrow by gripping the front and rear rails, which works great. Finally, the cabinet is painted black. Other nice features: The trunnions are mounted to the frame like a cabinet saw, rather than a hybrid saw. There is an internal dust collection shroud around the blade with a hose to the 4 dust port. The push stick stores on top of the rip fence for easy access. The miter slots are T tracks rather than square.Negatives: The assembly manual appears to be a little bit off. For example, there were no instructions for installing the power switch, but that was easy to figure out. There is no storage for the miter gauge and/or splitter when not in use. However, there is storage for the rip fence on the rear of the saw. The operation of the saw is smooth smooth smooth. The saw sounds great running, a solid hum rather than a shrill screech like my last saw. The lighter weight of the saw does not affect the performance either, and there is virtually no table vibration. The 1 3/4 HP motor is more than enough power for my purposes. It will cut anything up to the saw's 10 blade capacity, maybe at a slightly lower speed than a 2.5 or 3 HP, but that is no problem for me. My first project was a picture frame jig and picture frame. It was a great feeling when the miters came together with no gaps right off the saw. I think I'll give the lathe a rest for a while and get to some furniture projects I've been looking forward too.

Did a lot of research on table saws and decided on a hybrid due to weight and cost. The thing that sold me on the Laguna Fusion is that the trunions are mounted on the cabinet like a full cabinet saw, it can run a 110 or 220, has a nice looking fence plus I have to admit, it's just a nice looking saw. Also it's carried by reputable dealers like Rockler that I use and trust. Would have liked to get the 52" model but just couldn't fit it in my shop. Called around and found that due to a dock workers strike in California, it would be 2 months before I could get the saw. Not wanting to wait, I drove to the Rockler store in Schaumburg Illinois (2.5hrs) and bought their display model. The people there were very friendly and helpful, helped me disassemble the rails and one wing and lift it into my vehicle. The saw was in perfect condition. After getting it home and down to my shop, I found it very easy to mount and align the rails and wings. Practically perfect. About the only thing I can complain about is the tape measure wasn't installed perfectly. Seems to be a common complaint on this saw and something that Laguna should address. Seriously, it would take the assembler at the factory an extra 30 seconds to take the care needed to do a better job or just make a jig to do it properly. I was however prepared for this so not a big deal. I also found the blade to be aligned as perfect as I could probably do myself so not worth the effort to mess with. Didn't even waste my time with the included blade and mounted my Fein. The saw has a great sound quality. I was surprised how quiet it runs. The fence is as good as I hoped it would be and easy to use and adjust. The casters on one side makes it really easy to move without buying a mobile base. Overall just really impressed with this thing. Great value, well built and it really is a great looking saw. Will be looking at Laguna for future purchases.

Ordered the 1.75 hp but received a call from Laguna and was offered the 2 hp version, 220v with 52&quot; fence for same price. Took the offer and also received home delivery. Great saw, very accurate. Ordered a dado plate with the saw and what I received was a zero clearance plate that will not fit a 3/4&quot; dado. Blade will hit the metal in the plate. Have made my own dado plates. Was told by Laguna that the dado plate they make is not designed for 3/4&quot; dadoes. When I installed the 52&quot; fence, they only sent half the number of bolts needed and shown in the instructions. Laguna told me to just go to the hardware store and pick some up. The fence rails were missing the end caps and Laguna has ordered those and am still waiting. Overall it is an excellent saw. Their QC on their shipping needs some improvement to ensure all the parts are provided. I am still surprised they do not make a dado plate to handle a 3/4"wide dado blade.Submitted on 1/5/2013Update on my previous review. I received an email from Ben with Laguna Tools on 1-4-13, checking in to see how I liked the saw and if I received everything. I did receive everything that was back ordered and love the saw. It is dead on accurate and was not difficult to dial in or set up. I appreciate the fact that Ben followed up with me.

I have had this saw for about a month now and absolutely love the saw. Setting up the saw was not as bad as I had expected but it did take some time and going over the instructions very carefully. The miter slow was dead on out of the box which was a nice surprise. I have used the saw and had zero issues with it def do not regret the purchase. The only issue I did have was Rockler customer service when I purchased the saw it was expected to arrive in 10 days only to receive a call from Rockler to let me know the saw was back ordered. I was not very happy about spending this amount of money expecting it sooner and not getting it until later. I expressed my feelings with customer service and all they offered was for me to cancel my order. Other than that great purchase.

I've had this saw now for about 3 months and was waiting to see what went wrong with it. The saw arrived on a pallet, nicely packaged and protected. I managed to get it down to my basement level shop and installed with just me, though parts of it were very heavy. Much to my surprise everything was beautifully aligned and set up without my having to tweak any of the settings. Even the miter fitting was dead on. I swapped out their blade with a Forrest II blade and have chopped and ripped 3" thick hard maple with no problems nor even much slowing down. 1/8" plywood cuts cleanly. Dust extraction is just adequate, though a good vacuuming every now and then helps. My one quibble is the zero-clearance plate which is too soft and flexes too easily. You can adjust the little set screws for great alignment, but pushing a piece of wood through flexes the plate and sometimes the wood catches at the back causing a minor hesitation in the saw cut. I made a couple of plates from melamine faced chipboard shelving which have performed much better. Figuring out how to allow for the splitter took a little thought, though! Would recommend this saw to any small-medium sized shop.

Arrived last week and I am very pleased. Already have it at work, and the only word to come to mind is: amazing. This is worth every penny and more. Delivery was direct from Laguna and it came off near flawlessly (there was a slight delay of a day, but nothing to cause panic). The set up was fast and efficient. I understand there are just so many places to put the power switch, but my only 'complaint' is that I've adjusted it to a couple places and I tend to accidentally shut it off in mid-cut. My old saw had the power farther to the right than I stand and I just need to retrain my myself to be aware of it. Over all, excellent in every respect.

I bought this saw because it looked like the best one I could find to fit my budget. It was a great choice. Smooth accurate and almost vibration free. The only negative is the throat plate that the factory has redesigned and when I called them they sent me a new one that is great. The manual is a little less in depth than you would like but that is the only real negative I have for an otherwise great saw.

My saw arrived ok. Putting it together alone made it a bit more time consuming. First I will mention my complaints. The engineering on the riving knife lock, leaves much to be desired. The star knob was poorly machined to fir the shaft and the one small hex bolt did not secure it well. There is no flat on the shaft letting even a small amount of extra force, roll the star knob right around the shaft. Also they turn the star knob with the ears bent back toward the nut you are supposed to fit the cheap stamped metal ( read sloppy ) onto the actual nut, should you wish to turn it. Mine stripped out the first time I installed the knife. Laguna was quick to send me a whole new assembly however. Did not think a company with their reputation I would be repairing a brand new saw. Once running, I have to say the saw is smooth, powerful enough for the average guy and the fence is great. They also failed to align and screw one of the two screws in that hold the plastic fitting to the dust collection port, right under the blade. Even with these complaints, I am happy with the saw and would buy it again. Hey Laguna, fix these problems at the factory please.

I purchased this saw in late September and have had minimal time to use it due to knee surgery in Oct. That being said I believe I have good idea of the units overall quality.

First thing, saw cabinet arrive damaged during shipping. The wheel supports were bent from riding around in a truck all day. Wooden pallets it was shipped on was crushed . consequently the saw will not sit flat with out rocking. If you set feet so the saw doesn't rock it sits crooked so will be difficult to set an outfeed true to the saw. Asked the guys at Rockler if there was anything that they could do and have never heard back from anyone

Set up was as expected from reading previous reviews. Directions completely useless. So I used set up videos Laguna has on their website. Made set up a breeze. Saw was dead in true out of the box. Did not have issues with table out of squre to blade as others have noted. Minor adjustments needed to blade angle and the fence but this also was expected.

Cut quality is completely dependant on the blade being used, included blade is garbage. I havs a Frued fusion blade that makes flawless cuts that are dead on square.

Overall saw is a good machine. However the wheels are very week and I'm fearfull repeated movements will cause eventual failure of them as they are built to weak for the weight of the table.

I purchased the saw from the Rockler store in Phoenix, Az. The saw was all set up and all I had to do was zero in the calibration. I encountered a problem trying to remove the riving knife to accommodate some dado cuts. The star shaped knob would not budge until forced only to realize that the D-shaped hole was now round.and was useless. I had to dissemble the entire assembly and use a vise grip to remove the adjustment shaft. An email to the Rockler store who forwarded my email to Laguna which produced an immediate call from Laguna's Jason explaining the problem to be a protective coating for shipping that acts like a locktite result on threads. Jason indicated that new parts would be shipped to me at no charge. My thanks to the Rockler store for making the effort to resolve the problem quickly by forwarding my email to Laguna and to Jason for making things right. All in all, I regard the Laguna saw as well made and especially impressed with the smooth as silk crank wheels operation. It's like a nice piece of furniture in my shop. Parts inadvertently dropped inside the cabinet are easily retrieved by removing the motor vent cover.

Have had this saw for two months and I am very impressed with the saw quality and precision. Assembly was straightforward, even with the weird Chinglish manual, and adjustments are easy. The built in mobility wheels are excellent, an important feature for my small shop. Dust collection excels, too. Only negatives: As others have noted, the blade insert is indeed substandard and mine is warped and impossible to level exactly. Also, storage hooks and mounts on the cabinets are lacking for saw blades and the miter gauge (there is a hook for the blade safety cover).

I bought this saw to replace an old Craftsman that mercifully died. I can now make consistent rip cuts without binding. The saw was easy to set up as all the setting except the rip fence were already set correctly. My one issue with the plastic blade insert was corrected by Laguna when I contacted them to complain about this piece. They've agreed to send me their replacement insert.

Recieved my Laguna fusion 2 months after my initial order (sometime around the end of January) due to the long shoreman strike in California. Picked it up at the local Rockler store & personnel at the store helped with the loading procedure. The saw was well crated with absolutely no damage. Assembly went well but both table & fence where not in true alignment. In a short time however, had both aligned within acceptable tolerances. The only issues I have with the saw is owners manual which is almost totally useless and the power switch. As soon as I plugged the power cord into a wall outlet the switch was humming. I could turn the saw on & off but the humming would continue. After contacting customer service they promptly sent a replacement switch. Customer service gets two thumbs up! After replacing the switch (a little tricky) I am back in business & completely satisfied with my new table saw. For someone looking to upgrade without converting to 220 I highly recommend taking a good look at the Laguna saw.

Delivery was delayed due to a Longshoreman strike on the West coast ... Rockler offered to provide an alternate saw (i.e. Jet) but I chose to wait. Saw arrived without any damage (slight damage to the wooden packaging crate, but none to the saw or any of it's contents. Assembly was easy by myself altho somewhat messy due to the shipping "grease" that coated the wings & table top and used to prevent damage from moisture while in transit but it cleaned up easily. User manual is good and intelligible but the English phrasing/wording is occasionally off (i.e. you can tell an English Second Language user wrote it). Saw is VERY quiet. Comes w miter guage, fence, push stick, and low quaility blade. I compared to Jet, Steel City, Powermatic, Grizzly...liked the Powermatic except for cost ... Steel City was a close 2nd to the Laguna. Very happy so far w Laguna. No experience yet calling for tech support.

after practicing with two craftsman saws and re-reading reviews for two years I finally ordered the Laguna and while I had to wait two months I am very happy! The reviews I have read were right on. I originally settled for the Grizzly 7015 but after waiting and seeing some reviews about repeated accuracy and considering the difficulty of adjustment mentioned by reviewers and that it was 220 I reconsidered. I also considered Jet, Powermatic and the new Delta. Powermatic was a bit more (not a huge issue) but the Laguna table was easily adjustable, plenty of power and wired for 110. The directions are poorly written but the saw was aligned and went together easily. The table and wings are the best I've seen. I think the price is right quality thus far has been everything stated by others. This will fit all my needs and give years of service.

There is a lot to like about this saw. It is solid and true. It was easy to set up, has a decent fence, decent dust collection, and even looks good. I just find it a little under powered. I was replacing a saw with the same HP, but this one at times seems like it struggles a bit more. I have even tripped the circuit protection a few times, and I do small scale projects.

I'm writing this immediately after assembly, so all I'm commenting on is the shipping and assembly.

As far as shipping goes, this saw comes directly from Laguna Told in CA. I was expecting to receive some tracking information, but had to email them in order to get the info, no big deal. However, be forewarned that the Estimated Time of Delivery on the website is actually delivery to the terminal, not your address. So, after taking off from work that day and a few phone calls, I was left in the not the best of moods, no saw. But, this was my first time having something delivered by freight truck, so I attribute my frustration to my lack of experience. Once it arrives at the terminal you arrange a delivery with them. Advice: don't expect or plan for any delivery until you schedule it with the terminal, they'll call you.

The assembly went fairly smooth, though a few things could be better. For one, the cast extension tables were both slightly warped which made leveling them out kind of a pain. I stopped at the "good enough" point. Secondly, the front, two-part, rail extrusions were of different dimensions where they butt together. This left a small lip that the fence end could not go over, had to file it down. I really wish they would have just made a full-length extrusion. I suppose they cut that corner just to ease shipping. Thirdly, the fence has a slight bow to it on the sides. When squaring the fence to the table you can see light in the middle while the square touches at the top and bottom.

After making a few test cuts, I don't really think that any of these problems will be of any real issue. It seemed to cut nicely. Only time will tell.

Rock solid saw. Once unpacked, the setup videos (from their website) lead you through the process of learning and calibrating the saw.The customer service people are great when you need them, as I did (minor shipping damage).

Very nice and quiet table saw with good dust collection. It takes a while to assemble but directions are clear. It should be supplied with an additional throat plate for dado. I had to order that from Laguna since Rockler does not carry it. It should also be supplied with a high quality blade. I love the greater capacity and precision compared to my old saw.

Received this saw about 3-4 days ago. The shipping person was extremely pleasant and did everything he could do to put the saw where I wanted it. Took about 3-4 hours to put the saw together, level and adjust. The instructions were good and the online videos were also very helpful (wish they would put the video in one download rather than having to watch 18 videos). Would have given 5 stars (would love to give 4,5/4.75 but...) except for the following: First, the written instructions state to utilize specific mm wrenches which are the wrong size. Second, the wrench supplied (the smaller mm open end wrench) don't fit any of the nuts or bolts (off by a mm) and unfortunately I didn't have the correct size either; I did however, have a SAE that came close enough to fitting for the purpose. Finally, the two cast wings match up perfectly on the outside edges but have ~1/32" downward bow in the middle - spoke with manager at Rockler store on Black Friday, and he said he would check with Laguna and see what we can do about getting new wings shipped in.

One other small thing, when I bought this, I wanted to pay cash at the store - word to the wise, unless you have a couple of hours to waste, order it from the website (You'll have to end up using the store's Kiosk to place the order online anyway) and use plastic (or you'll have to purchase gift cards with cash and go back to Kiosk and hopefully be able to enter them into the system - if you are unlucky (like me) you'll have to end up calling customer service so they can pull up the order and pay for it using the gift cards!).

Please note that I have not had this saw long enough to share a well informed review. Replaces an old Craftsman table saw. This is a real sweet saw. Purrs like a kitten. More than enough power for me. I'm a DYI'er so I don't need a 220 machine (although I'm sure they're great). Easy to set up, Laguna has some great videos on their website. Had to loosen table bolts to square table to the blade, but everything else was set up pretty well from the factory. Since I live in So Cal I was able to purchase a Dado plate from the Irvine office. Purchased a 14/12 bandsaw from Laguna too. Great customer service.

I am a professional just starting out. My shop is still small, so a 52" saw was not going to fit. A regular saw at 30" is just to small. I have had this saw for about four months a it has done a fine job.

I have been using this saw for a few weeks now, and I couldn't be happier with it. As a novice amateur woodworker, I had been using a portable contractor's saw. The difference between that saw and the Laguna is night and day. I feel like I have graduated to the big leagues.

The fence is solid, square and reliable, once you do the initial setup adjustments. There's plenty of room ahead of the blade to get the work piece flat and flush against the fence. The blade height is easy to dial in and lock into place, when precision depth is called for. Blade changing is quick and easy, and there's plenty of room for a dado stack on the arbor.

The safety features are good. I especially like the large "off" switch that's easy to hit with your knee so that you don't have to let go of the work piece with your hands. The anti-kickback pawls leave a bit of a mark in the work piece that needs to be either hidden or sanded/planed out, but I had this same problem on the contractor's saw, so I figure that it's just a drawback of the pawls in general.

I can't think of any features that have been left off. With the available upgrades (the extended table area and the conversion to 220v), you are potentially getting the power and features of a full cabinet saw. Even without those upgrades, though, this saw has plenty of power and table surface area for a novice such as myself.

For the price they are asking, you are getting a ton of value. And you don't sacrifice any quality at all. This saw is very solidly designed and built. Usually with tools, you get what you pay for. But this saw is the exception - you are getting a lot more bang for your buck with this thing than anything else in the hybrid table saw class.

Make sure you watch the videos provided by Laguna when you are assembling and tuning up the saw. They are extremely helpful (much more so than the manual, which badly needs some proofreading).

I am very impressed. Assembly was quick and easy. Everything was almost perfectly square and true, I had to make a very small adjustment on the fence. The saw is very sturdy and well built. I kick myself for not buying one years ago.

I've had other table saws (contractor level) but this is my first real quality cabinet table saw. It's really solid and easy to use. My only complaint would be that the table top rusts at the drop of a hat. I've had to start coating it after every use to avoid rusting. I have other tools that have cast iron surfaces and this is the only one that rusts that quickly.

The fence is really well built and I love that there's a little mount on the back of the saw to hang it. It's out of the way and keeps it from getting in the way when not in use.
